"Some things are just better together: peanut butter and chocolate, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, Rome and Vespas. We decided to pair two things we love—the soft, cotton jersey of our favorite t-shirt, and the gorgeous sateen of the dresses of yesteryear—to create the Spanish Steps. A luxe jersey cap sleeve top is gathered at the waist with a wide satin sash, and a veritable bouquet of appliquéd, ruched flowers and leaves adorns the full sateen skirt that swirls just below your knee. A truly inspired combination, the Spanish Steps has star potential."

In Motion

It's been such a busy week.
Sometimes, I just need a little reminder to slow down and be thankful for what's going right, instead of complaining about what's not.

Today, I'm stepping away from all the motions and saying thank you for. . .

Waking up this morning
Having a coworker bring homemade biscuits for breakfast
The rain that is sure to come
A colorful scarf to brighten the rainy day
A long talk with my mom on the drive to work
Hearing I love you everyday from someone who makes my heart nearly burst

A Whole Lot of Weekend Goodness

(via)

Welcome back from the weekend, everyone! I hope it was restful and lovely for you all. It was quite busy for me- with class, errands and organizing- but still very enjoyable! I have so much to share with you all today, let's just get to it, shall we?

~~~~~~~~

On Saturday after class I went out to run a few errands, and couldn't resist a quick detour through TJ Maxx. Look at these gorgeous Michael Kors scarves that I purchased!

Look at the gorgeous buttons! I love little details...

I also picked up some lemon curd for pound cake, some party supplies for a luncheon I'm hosting at my house this weekend, a few goodies for my Preppy Christmas Swap partner, and a Strawberry Shortcake coloring book...

There is no better stress-relief that coloring. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

****

After my outing on Saturday afternoon, I came home and organized my bathroom closet. I have been wanting to do this for a while and finally got around to it over the weekend.

Before....

After...and much improved...

Please tell me how I managed to eliminate an entire shelf?? I love it, nonetheless.

****

I also decided to do a little DIY project which I will hopefully be sharing with y'all tomorrow. I have a bench in my bathroom that my mama gave me. It desperately needs a face lift. The idea? Black, white, yellow.
